Dream Of America

They come from the South,
and now the North to.
Fleeing their countries
To the Red, White, and Blue.

The dream of America

Poor Ukraine

Saw the bodies

Destroyed buildings
Debris all around

The war is with us
As we watch safe in our homes
With no dying children

It's about the way of our current times. The homeless are everywhere and most are to busy to even notice or afraid to give more than a passing glance.
